Are python strings can be mutable?-CodePudding

As string is immutable,so we can't change the string so how we can insert a character at middle position?

code:

s = "hello world"
s[5] = '-'

But it gives you error as it is immutable.so,how we can resolve this problem?

CodePudding user response：

We know string is immutable,but we can't change values through assignment operator.so we can acheive this through string slicing:

s = s[:5] '-' s[6:]

so now s becomes "hello-world". so this can be done using string slicing.

CodePudding user response：

Yes , the strings in the Python are immutable. But we can perform concatenate operation on strings.

If we want to modify string like..

S = "Hello World" S[5] = '-'

It is not possible but we can do this by slicing method

S = S[:5] '-' S[6:] Then the result is S = "Hello-World"
